I have chosen to go on the new 1Mb service because my normal usage pattern is achievable within the 3Gb per month cap with some to spare. If I want more than that when the caps are firmly in place I will either pay for the extra or upgrade to a higher tier for a month and then drop back down again.

You are looking at it the wrong way if you look at the volume that someone wants to download in a month and then works out what speed they have to be on to spread that download evenly over the month. The other day I reformatted one of my daughters PCs, reinstalled the operating system and then downloaded antivirus, firewall, windows updates, drivers and a few more things. I wanted them much faster than a dialup would get them and ideally would have preferred a 3Mb connection in order to save time that day.
Most webpages wont load any quicker if u have a faster connection without tweaks to internet explorer or other browsers. I have broadband to download faster, NTL upgraded my speed therefore im going to download more , faster...

the internet is a lovely play im sorry you dont see the many uses i do...
